Sell it here in the States for under $3,000 and IT WILL SELL. It's not selling in India because Indians come in two flavors: Rich and too good for your car, and BROKE AS SHIAT and unable to afford it under any circumstances.

Sell it in the USA. Price it $2,199.99 and it will sell like hotcakes. You won't be able to keep up with demand. Even the most broke-ass Americans can manage to scrape up $2,200 with financing. Hell, homeless people would buy it to live in it (the payment per month would be cheaper than rent anywhere else, that's for sure).

I could use one. I have a full-size vehicle, but a nice tiny car to get me around town and save gas in the beast would be handy! Sell them here!!!

The Ralf Nader will write a book about it

they might as well engrave your name on the block and it could double as your headstone-Click and Clack

I had a Datsun 510 that probably had less safety features than this thing. Sadly, rust proofing wasn't part of the package. I'd gladly buy a car under $10,000 that was vaguely dependable. My current driving habits don't really require air bags, anti lock brakes, and all of the other industry/government required training wheels.

Mr Mistry told Tata's annual shareholders meeting, in Mumbai, that new Nanos would include power steering options, an improved interior and exterior, be available in more colours, and have better fuel efficiency.

Looks like Tata will take ... these broken wings ... and learn to fly again ....

Emissions and safety equipment required on modern cars makes this impractical. In fact, it would add about $4500 to the cost to produce. That, plus shipping it overseas is likely to make the price comparable to something like the Ford Fiesta or Chevy Aveo/Spark.

I think people would rather they fix that spontaneous combustion problem...

The Tata needs only 0.25l of fuel to self-immolate. A Caddy or Beemer needs at least 2+Litres. (that's at least 5 gal for those who can't convert.)

Don't bother correcting my L --> gal conversion... remember I said it was for those who can't convert. For those who can convert they will have done it in their heads even before I gave my conversion. Also: I am a Cannuck so now you will have to guess as to whether I gave a bad USgal or ImpGal conversion. Helen Keller told me what conversion factor to use.
